- 1). Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws beside the data port on the bottom of the iPhone.
- 2). Place the end of the flat-head screwdriver between the chrome siding and the glass cover in a location other than where you removed the two screws in Step 1. As soon as you feel it slip in, gently pry the screwdriver back to lift the glass.
- 3). Lift the cover open partially to reveal the data ribbon strips that attach from the body to the digitizer. Gently unplug the left-side data cables by pushing them with your finger or another blunt object. Do not pull the cover farther upward.
- 4). Look at the top right side of the area where you disconnected the data ribbons and you will see another connector. If you look closely you will see a very small latch that needs to be pulled back and up, like a car door handle, to remove the last connection and separate the iPhone 3G digitizer from the body.
